Columbus, Ohio-based Borden, Incorporated built a Borden Burger Foods fast-food restaurant at 10333 Pelham Road in 1970. The branding was shortened to simply Borden Burger by 1972.[1] The store was eventually closed sometime between 1973 and 1975, when the Borden Burger chain was shuttered by Borden, Incorporated. A Greek restaurant, named Dimitri's Restaurant, soon opened within the building, and would remain in the building through at least 1996, when it was demolished in anticipation of the construction of a Rite Aid drugstore.
By 1996, Rite Aid had a location in Allen Park's downtown area at 15411 Southfield Road, which it had acquired from Perry Drug Stores the previous year. Rite Aid opened store #4661 at 10333 Pelham in 1997. This location was not successful for Rite Aid, and in 2002 the store was shuttered and replaced by Dollar Tree store #2359.
